Vancouver vs. Calgary: NHL Match Prediction
On November 13, Vancouver will try to rehabilitate themselves before the fans for the disastrous start of the home series. This time, the team will meet Calgary, which has not been doing well lately. Our experts have prepared a forecast in which they will tell you about the clubs' latest matches and also help you decide on bets
Command Analysis
Vancouver Canucks
CanadaCurrent form
Vancouver had a great three-game road series, winning all of their opponents, including in regulation time. In the first game, the team faced serious resistance from San Jose, but still managed to snatch victory just 30 seconds before the final whistle, thanks to a goal by forward Suter, who had already scored a goal, thus completing his double. In a duel with another outsider, Anaheim, they managed to realize their attacking potential to the fullest, defeating the Ducks with a score of 5:1. This time, the most productive player was defenseman Hughes, who made three assists. The Killer Whales were able to consolidate their success away from home to Los Angeles, where they also left their competitor no chance, winning with a two-goal difference (4:2). Hughes was able to distinguish himself again, scoring two assists and strengthening his position as the club top scorer.
It seemed that after returning to their home arena, the Canucks would continue to please fans with successful results, but this did not happen. The team met with Edmonton and unexpectedly could not contain the opponent pressure, suffering a crushing defeat with a score of 3:7. Goalie Lankinen showed his worst side, who had to be replaced after another missed puck. What is noteworthy is that this time the entire attacking line did not play well either, managing to make only 20 shots at the Oilers' goal.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vancouver continues to have roster problems. Boser, Forboth, Joshua and Poolman will definitely not be able to participate in the upcoming match. Demko is also questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- Vancouver is allowing an average of 3.3 goals per game.
This season, the Canucks have not been able to boast of a reliable game on defense and have often allowed opponents to realize their potential on offense.
- On average, the "killer whales" make 28 shots per match
The attacking line is not always able to compensate for the lapses in defense, as it is not very active.
Calgary Flames
CanadaCurrent form
Calgary is still on a long road trip, which they started off quite well. In the first game, the team faced a clear underdog in Montreal and took advantage of the Canadiens' poor form, snatching a victory in overtime (3:2). The Flames looked much better than their opponent, but even taking this fact into account, the team almost suffered a defeat in regulation time, but Coronato goal at the very end of the game saved the situation. Then the team went to visit Boston, where they also showed a very active game in attack, due to which they were able to give a worthy rebuff to the Bruins and again made a comeback in the third period. However, this time they had to lose in overtime with a final score of 3:4.
The last match of the "lights" was away to a far from serious opponent in the person of "Buffalo", but the Huskies' charges again could not successfully start the match and allowed the "Sabres" to earn a significant advantage already in the first period. Due to a very reliable game in defense, "Calgary" once again bounced back, and it came down to a series of shootouts, where they had to lose (2:3). The team was able to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans in the match with "Los Angeles", taking advantage of its not-so-best form and winning (3:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Calgary has no serious problems with its roster. However, it is worth noting the loss of the club newcomer Anthony Mantha, who started the season very confidently, scoring seven points in 11 games.
Interesting trends for betting
- Calgary averages 10 penalty minutes per game
The Flames still can't get their discipline right and continue to get penalties.
- The Lights converted only 16% of their power play attempts.
The team shows poor implementation of the numerical advantage and rarely takes advantage of the opponents' penalties.
Trends
Bet First Goal: Vancouver
Vancouver has opened the scoring in four of the five head-to-head games
1.65Goal in each period bet - yes
In four out of five head-to-head matches, the teams scored a goal in each period
1.45Tip and bets
Vancouver has been showing excellent results this season, and the crushing defeat to Edmonton is rather an exception, since before that the team consistently beat all opponents on its way. Now the "killer whales" have a great desire to rehabilitate themselves before the fans, which means they will try to play at full strength and give Calgary a tough reception. The Flames should already be pretty tired from constant travel and mentally difficult matches, which will affect their game as a whole. We believe that the Canucks will finally be able to take advantage of their home ice advantage and win.
Our prediction is Vancouver victory at 1.81
Bet on total
You shouldn't expect a lot of goals scored in the upcoming match. Both teams don't always show their attacking potential, especially recently, so we suggest choosing under as the second bet.
Forecast - total under six goals for 1.84
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Vancouver has every chance to win in the first period. The team has the home arena advantage, which will allow them to start putting pressure on their opponent from the start. It is also worth considering the Flames' not-so-great play at the beginning of the match.
Prediction - Vancouver win in the first period with a handicap (0) for 1.55
